I have so far:

Martha, daughter of Josiah Halsey, of Southampton, & great grand daughter of Thomas Halsey. 3rd wife of Josiah Pierson (son of Henry)

I think this Josiah in the Halsey book

Would make him son of Thomas & Mary, married 1) Sarah Topping 2) Mary

However the Halsey book has a comment placing the wife of Josiah Pierson as a probable daughter of Jeremiah, not Josiah

Hatte Blejer How reliable is the Halsey book? You don’t have Martha (b 1699) in your profile for Jeremiah Halsey
